And O dear Prophet (Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) We have sent down the true Book upon you, confirming the Books preceding it, and a protector and witness over them – therefore judge between them according to what is sent down by Allah, and O listener, do not follow their desires, abandoning the truth which has come to you; We have appointed for you all, a separate (religious) law and a way; and had Allah willed He could have made you one nation, but the purpose (His will) is to test you by what He has given you, therefore seek to surpass one another in good deeds; towards Allah only you will all return, so He will inform you concerning the matter in which you disputed.
(Sekiranya dikehendaki Allah tentulah kamu dijadikan-Nya satu umat) dengan hanya satu syariat (tetapi) dibagi-bagi-Nya kamu kepada beberapa golongan (untuk mengujimu) mencoba (mengenai apa yang telah diberikan-Nya kepadamu) berupa syariat yang bermacam-macam untuk melihat siapakah di antara kamu yang taat dan siapa pula yang durhaka (maka berlomba-lombalah berbuat kebaikan) berpaculah mengerjakannya. (Hanya kepada Allahlah kembali kamu semua) dengan kebangkitan (maka diberitahukan-Nya kepadamu apa yang kamu perbantahkan itu) yakni mengenai soal agama dan dibalas-Nya setiap kamu menurut amal masing-masing.
